    1997 Explorer AWD issues

    What could happen if you run it without the front shaft for a long time? if the v.c doesn't work correctly now, then worse that could happen is the v.c would seize which it's already doing. I've ran mine without a front shaft for 4-5 months at a time and it still works fine(except for the...

    2001 V8 AWD front end noise upon acceleration

    if you accelerate and it whines and quits on deceleration it will probably be a crown and pinion gear. if it has a constant whine it will probably be bearings, i work at a dealership and it seems that since ford went to synthetic gear oil there has been problems. you would not believe how many...

    EGR Tube Replacement (98 5.0L)

    I just did mine today! the best to do it is to cut the pipe as short as you can on the manifold side and then spray with lots of penatrating fluid. You can then put a 1 1/16 deep socket on it with a extension and break it loose with a long ratchet. For the egr side I used a 1 1/16 wrench(it will...

    Stumbling/Missing After Getting Stuck

    my transfercase is not working normaly now(binds when turning and warm) either, I'm ok with just 2wd for now. I want to save my tires and gas, they squeel in tight corner and it's hard on the front driveline. I love the truck but not the binding!

    Stumbling/Missing After Getting Stuck

    you removed your front shaft? how long did have it off? i'm thinking of removing mine too(because of binding when taking a sharp corner). But I wouldn't mind putting it back on for winter. does it still drive well with the front drive shaft removed? did you have the park "creep" concern?

    CAUTION! AWD Front Drive Shaft Removal --Drifts in park.

    Thanks cdw621r, that's my thinking too! So if I would remove the frt shaft I still get 100% power to the rear wheels? I like awd but I don't need the extra wear on the tires and front drivline!

    CAUTION! AWD Front Drive Shaft Removal --Drifts in park.

    I've been thinking of removing my front driveshaft due to some binding when taking sharp corners. My question is, is the park gear not holding the only thing that is not going to work correctly? I will still have "full" 2wd right? If I want awd for winter can't I just throw frt drivshaft back...
